He left Goldman Sachs in December, where he held the position of insurance portfolio manager for more than five years, and was responsible for $15bn of fixed income assets managed on behalf of insurance companies.

"Nick's combination of technical and investment skills ensures we're able to offer insurance clients dynamic multi-asset solutions within the framework of the various regulatory and accounting regimes in which our insurance clients operate," said James Peagam, global head of insurance solutions.

J.P. Morgan told IAR that it manages $75.9bn in insurance assets globally, as of the end of September 2015.
